    Exactly, Morey needs to find a whole other team for the Rockets. The one he put together stinks.

    No, but the evidence is getting difficult to deny. 7 game losing streak, including getting killed by Minnesota team missing half of its members and its coach.

    I don't know but almost everyone on this roster is garbage. We don't have a PF that is useful. Why is Asik and Harden running a Pick and roll together when that clearly doesn't work...? Asik is so useless on the pick and roll. He set a screen but that gives the defender a chance to just double Harden because they know Asik can't catch a simple pass or finish. In order to get the ball to Asik, you have to let him know that you're passing it to him and have to pass it softly and have to hit him directly on the chest to make it easier for him to catch...

    I'm anticipating a move by the rockets and the players must already know about it. Not sure who is getting moved, I'm just seeing some very suspicious line ups lately that make you say hmm! T. Douglas who was not playing bad has all the sudden been getting dnp coaches desisions. Lin and Parsons have been terrible lately, along with Harden who has not been his self either. I just sense a fracture in the team chemistry. I think Pat Bev was brought here for a reason that is bigger than we see right now. Morey has something up his sleeve whether it's a major or minor remains to be seen. I would be surprised if we stand pat at the trading deadline. Well these are just my thoughts, i don't know anything substantial to report.

    Carl, what the hell is wrong with you?

    It is the NBA, teams go through winning streaks and losing streaks, it is inevitable with the sheer amount of games played. Honestly, did you really think the Rockets will be able to keep winning at that pace? This team has been overachieving all year long. . . .

    I truly have began to grow to hate Clutchfans with all these armchair GMs and coaches. Tanking . . . that is smart . . . . you think you are upset now, imagine being a fan of a team that purposely tanks every year! Will you tune in to watch a crap team play without any attention of winning? Do you think Morey and Mchale will be able to retain their jobs if they purposely went out there and put 0 effort on the court?

    To all you who thinks tanking is awesome, GTFO, I consider you not intelligent and not a true fan of the team if you want them to fail.

    i think most people here thought we'd be a 30-40 win team this season...this was supposed to be a rebuilding year. i think people got too excited when we started getting hot for awhile

    Tank?

    Tank?

    It's way too late to tank. That opportunity (and it was golden) is gone. We don't even have our draft pick do we? What the Rockets are is a middle of the road team, and unless Morey can acquire a second star, that isn't going to change. Not this year, next year, or the year after that. And even if the Rockets still have their pick, they've won too many games to have a realistic chance of getting into the top three. Oh, and the Toronto pick? Turns out they are 14 and 26, almost a lock for the lottery.

    ITT: people overreacting

    Were people seriously expecting something out of this season..? Get real guys. Let's get all depressed and emo if this happens next season (or the next) AFTER we acquire a real good PF, get some more chemistry, actually learn to play D, and get more experience overall.

    I wonder if people suddenly forgot we are still the youngest (or 2nd after Hornets, I don't know) team in the NBA.

    A young team will have higher highs and lower lows.

    Winning streaks, losing streaks. Consistency and chemistry come with experience and maturity.
